CATFISH

Aesthetically speaking, I’m a major fan of the classic red tailed catfish but I love corydoras so much. Pygmy corydoras are some of my favourites and I look forward to owning some in the future. They’re super tiny and school together. I think catfish are super underrated, a lot of people just see bottom feeders as cleaner fish etc. speaking of, another fish I adore is the weather loach, some people say they can detect changes in the weather. Also they’re the only fish I’ve ever had who would put themselves to bed. Many times, I’ve woken up before and found them cuddled up in a plant. Also they’re super friendly and love to nibble on your hands. They also like to play dead and scare the life out of you. Super fun. I love bottom feeders 10/10

They’re such goofy animals

Source is SHARKEEE ON TWITTER who posts tons of original amazing wildlife shots and videos but I needed to show you what lamprey look like mating, you won’t regret it especially not when one of them is still so worked up it starts swinging a boulder around with its face

[bogleech]

Oh yeah turns out that in May (we will likely miss it for a trip) there’s a lamprey conservation event in Washington and in July here in PDX is a big public lamprey festival in Oregon City!

This is an article about last year’s, but one of the field biologists who works with them told me about this year’s!

Lamprey are an important traditional food staple for Oregon’s tribal nations but disappeared almost entirely from some of their natural habitats as colonizers changed the landscape and industry contaminated the water.

Bringing them back has been a huge community effort over the last few years and the new annual festival seems to be spreading real appreciation for their ecological value as well as the fact that they are supposedly delicious. There’s a double edged sword there in that it might be bad for them all over again if they catch on as a trendy food, on the other hand they are farmable, and there are invasive species of them that could probably stand to be fished for.

Blackwater Dive

2024, hand bleached and dyed denim, cotton batting and thread

inspired by blackwater photography of plankton! this was my first time layering bleach painting. All the silhouettes were painted with bleaching gel, loosely tie dyed, and then bleached again to make the highlights. I quilted the piece using my free motion foot to outline each individual animal and tacked down the rest of the quilt with small satin stitches that remind me of marine snow. I dyed bias tape to match. super happy with this one and excited to show it in a gallery setting soon!

arapaima gigas

arapaima, river giant. 2023 / 24” x 24” / acrylic and glitter on canvas

arapaimas are some of the largest freshwater fish in the world. this is based off a photo I took in the Tennessee aquarium. this is a painting in inverse, meaning the white is shadow and the dark areas are light.

And with some horrible procreate skills, here’s what it “should look like” with the shadows being dark and the highlights being light:

This is actually a really good example of why internet of things is a security risk. The hackers couldn't have exploited the thermometer as an entry point if it didnt connect to the fucking internet to start with
